﻿﻿﻿Tales of the Trail...﻿﻿﻿

Yesterday's stage runners left the little town of Leadville... the highest town in the USA sitting at 10,200 feet. Stage 3 would bring them 24miles and 2700 feet to Nova Guides. With no cell reception, we didn't get texts, emails, updates or race results until today. Looks like the PACE girls are holding steady and Terry looks like she had a strong day. I did get a text from James and unfortunately he got super sick and after vomiting he was forced to pull out and rehydrate and rest. I'll say it again... this is one tough dude. I know he got back in the saddle this morning and finished stage 4 like a champ in 4hrs 20min. His feedback was "awesome views". You know you're a positive and passionate trail runner when you're seeing the bright side of things even through set-backs. I have included our friends and fellow CDN's from Salmon Arm in the update again tonight. We are proud of these two dudes too! Kudo's to everyone for making it 2/3's of the way. Only two more days to go! Getting up and getting started will be the toughest part of Stage 5 & 6. Hopefully everyone is recovering well in-between and napping, drinking, rolling, resting, icing etc... and sweet celebration will be upon you in a short two days. The PACE family is holding strong for you guys. Stay positive. Stay present. Love the journey you're on and carry on bravely...
